Nicole Kidman Is Nearly Unrecognizable Sporting Dramatic New Look
Nicole Kidman is switching up her style—and fans are absolutely loving the spicy new look! The longtime actress stunned once again as she appeared nearly unrecognizable in her latest beauty transformation while posing for her latest magazine photoshoot. In the images from Allure's June issue, which she shared via Instagram on Thursday, May 22, the 57-year-old debuted a bold, bright red choppy bob, created by celebrity hairstylist Evanie Frausto. The look, a bold departure from her traditional long blonde tresses, featured layers and mini bangs, offering a modern twist on the trendy short cut. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 More images included in the social media gallery showed the fiery-colored style in a lob, slightly longer than the cover photo's ultra-short version. Loyal fans of The Perfect Couple star may remember when Kidman rocked a similar look while playing in 1998's Practical Magic, though the color was less bright and more of a toned-down ginger with longer layers. Anyhow, folks quickly took to the comment section of the post to express adoration for the updated look. "WOW!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥," one gushed, as another dubbed her "An icon and a legend" and a third insisted she "devoured" in the pictures. "Really put the leg in legend! 🔥😮," someone else noted, drawing attention to the thigh-high slit featured on the slinky fuchsia dress she donned. The official account of Hulu series Nine Perfect Strangers—in which she portrays the character of Masha Dmitrichenko—even popped in, adding that she looked "Ethereal ✨" in the glamorous shots.

Nicole Kidman reveals major decision she regrets over her natural hair after viral wig fails
is owning up to her biggest beauty regret — just as buzz swirls around her ever-changing hairstyles and the use (and misuse) of wigs. The 57-year-old Aussie icon first turned heads with her stunning natural strawberry-blonde curls in hits like Dead Calm (1989) and Days of Thunder (1992), where she starred opposite her then-future husband Tom Cruise. Even as her career soared with roles in Practical Magic, Batman Forever, and Australia, she largely stuck to variations of her signature look — long, ginger-tinted waves with plenty of bounce. But recently, Kidman has stepped out in a series of dramatic wigged looks — ranging from sleek straight styles to blunt cuts, and one that became a viral misfire. At this year's Cannes Film Festival, fans noticed a rare misstep from the star when the mesh cap of her wig peeked through in red carpet photos — prompting chatter online. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The 57-year-old Aussie icon first turned heads with her stunning natural strawberry-blonde curls in hits like Dead Calm (1989) and Days of Thunder (1992, pictured), where she starred opposite her then-future husband Tom Cruise Despite defending her love of transformation — telling Channel Seven 's Sunrise this week that she enjoys 'changing [her] hair' and relies on hairpieces to do so — Kidman admits she regrets turning her back on her natural curls. 'Why did I straighten my hair?' she reflected in a new Allure interview, after being shown throwback photos from Days of Thunder. 'I loved my hair there. That is my natural hair. Isn't that crazy?' She added a heartfelt note to young fans: 'So for all the little girls out there — embrace the curl. Do not follow in my steps and straighten your hair.' But there's still hope for her signature ringlets. Though she rarely wears them in public these days, the Big Little Lies star says her curls can bounce back. 'I can do that to my hair still,' she shared, 'but it needs to be kind of humid, and I need to use the right product.' The Oscar-winning actress also got candid about the emotional reality of aging. When asked whether growing older has been difficult, Kidman didn't hold back. 'Yes,' she admitted. 'I've always been a future person, and suddenly you go, "Oh." It's about coming to terms with the fact that you have no control over what lies ahead.' She went on to explain that the shift in perspective stems in part from personal loss, as her mother recently passed. 'Probably that's to do with losing people very, very suddenly. I now have more time behind me than ahead,' she said. 'That shift in the ratio becomes a big thing.' Reflecting on life's bigger questions, she added: 'You're just always going, "What is all this?" The existential questions. Who are we? Why are we here?' Kidman is set to mark her 58th birthday on June 20. Nicole then opened up about the profound grief she's experienced since the passing of her mother, Janelle, in September of last year. 'Losing my mother changed every part of me,' she told the outlet, sharing that the two had spoken several times a week. 'It still feels so raw,' she added, describing herself as being 'on the journey of grief — the year of magical thinking.' That loss has taken on even deeper meaning as Kidman navigates motherhood herself. She shares daughters Sunday, 16, and Faith, 14, with husband Keith Urban. She's also a mother to Bella, 32, and Connor, 30, whom she adopted during her previous marriage to Cruise. 'Being a daughter and a mother — you start to see the circle of life in such a visceral way,' she reflected. 'Grief doesn't end. It evolves.'

‘Sunrise on the Reaping' Adds Even More Stars to the Hunger Games
Plus, Legendary's 'Street Fighter' movie isn't down for the count just yet. Practical Magic 2 is beginning to cast its next generation. The Backrooms movie adaptation may have found some serious stars. Fear Street: Prom Queen's director talks killer inspirations. Plus, what's coming on Lazarus. Spoilers now! Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping Oscar winner Kieran Culkin is the latest star to join the Hunger Games prequel's expansive cast. The Hollywood Reporter has word that Culkin will play a younger version of Caesar, the eccentric host of the titular games played by Stanley Tucci in the original movie series. Street Fighter Deadline reports Andrew Koji, Jason Momoa, Noah Centineo and Roman Reigns are currently in talks to play undisclosed characters in Legendary's live-action Street Fighter movie, after the film was removed from next year's release slate. The Backrooms Deadline also has word Chiwetel Ejiofor and Cristin Milioti are in talks to join A24's feature adaptation of The Backrooms, the viral series of found-footage videos from Kane Parsons about an unpeopled, seemingly endless office building. Practical Magic 2 Variety also reports Joey King has joined the cast of Practical Magic 2 as the daughter of Sandra Bullock's character, Sally Owens. Shaun of the Dead 2 During a recent Reddit AMA, Simon Pegg once again confirmed he has no plans for a Shaun of the Dead sequel. I think it's best left alone. I don't think there's any point in rebooting it. Some stories just have a beginning, middle and end. And the trouble with sequels sometimes, is that you have to undo the resolution of the original film in order to start another story. With films like Mission: Impossible, or the kind of superhero genre, or Star Trek, it works because it's a continuing adventure. But with Shaun of the Dead, Shaun has an arc that he starts somewhere and ends somewhere. And we're happy with the way that ends. And I that think sometimes, when you sequelize a film like that, you can end up spoiling the original, because when you watch the original again, you're thinking, 'Well they're gonna go through this other thing.' The resolution stops having any meaning. So, no, is the answer to that question! Fear Street: Prom Queen In conversation with Bloody-Disgusting, director Matt Palmer confirmed the slasher's look in Fear Street: Prom Queen is heavily inspired by Mrs. Tredoni, the raincoat-wearing killer in Alfred Sole's Alice, Sweet Alice. Alice, Sweet Alice was definite influence. There's a chase scene in that with the killer in the raincoat. And I'm big giallo fan too, so I think there was a giallo element that I always wanted from the start. We were like, 'What color of jacket we put against the red lockers?' We looked at yellow, but that felt a bit too on the nose, because Alice, Sweet Alice already done that. We tried blue. And then one of our concept artists came back with red on red, which we hadn't thought of because we were looking for something that wasn't red, and it was like, 'Oh, my God! That looks awesome!' Ironically, I read that the guy who directed Alice, Sweet Alice said that he always wanted a red raincoat but couldn't do that because it already been done in Don't Look Now, so we ended up back where Alice, Sweet Alice wanted to be. The mask took a long time. There's been so many iconic horror masks. It felt like everything had been done, and it was a bit of a panic. Then the production designer came back with that one, and it scared the shit out of all of us when we looked at it, so we were like, 'That's that's the one.' And then the Wellington boots, which is just more practical, really, in terms of wading around in everyone's blood. Talk to Me 2 Meanwhile, Danny and Michael Philippou provided an update on Talk to Me 2 during their recent appearance on The Boo Crew podcast (via Bloody-Disgusting). We have two versions of the script for Talk to Me 2 that are focusing on two different sets of characters that are in two different places. I'm equally excited about both. There's one scene in one of them that I think will be one of the best things I ever shoot. I think it's so horrific. I'm like this is insane and I've already started talking to people. I'm like, how can we pull this off practically? So those conversations are happening, but it's about stepping away from the world and then coming back into it super reinvigorated. So that's why we didn't do that next. I'm writing another horror movie at the moment, which I adore so much. And it feels like it's huge. So there's that. And then I think would be Talk to Me 2. Jurassic World Rebirth Bloody-Disgusting additionally has seven new posters for Jurassic World Rebirth, in which, unsurprisingly, people are imperiled by dinosaurs. The Protector Marguerite Moreau plays a 'dirt-jouster' in the post-apocalypse who agrees to heist the last freshwater aquifer from a Native American reservation in order to escape a manslaughter charge in the trailer for The Protector. Escape from the 21st Century We also have another trailer for Escape from the 21st Century, the upcoming film in which three kids from 1999 discover they can travel back and forth 20 years through time by sneezing, and that 2019 absolutely sucks. Lazarus Finally, Adult Swim has released a clip from this week's episode of Lazarus.
